The TESCOM™ Protocol
Not all systems run on a Windows-compatible platform. TESCOM
provides two resources for non-typical applications, which can be
found in the Protocol section of the ER5000 Software:
• A written description of the software protocol, called
PROTOCOL.pdf.
• The uncompiled protocol source code.
Step-by-step instructions to view the code are on the next page of
this section.
Direct access to the uncompiled source code allows programmers
to alter and recompile the TESCOM Protocol in a format suitable
for your system.
The TESCOM protocol software includes the following six functions:
Startup
This function must be called during program initialization before
any other function to allow PC initialization, including the serial
port. It does not send any data to the ER5000. This function
needs to be called only once.
WriteNetVar
This function is used to write to any of the ER5000 internal variables.
ReadNetVar
This function is used to read any of the ER5000 internal variables.
WriteProfileSegment
This function is used to write to any of the ER5000 Prole
commands (segments). Refer to The Prole Panel section for
more information on the Prole commands.
ReadProfileSegment
This function is used to read any of the ER5000 Prole

called only once.
